The drawings above were created using 2B and 3B graphite pencils and an eraser together on smooth cartridge paper.

I’ve found that by drawing a little and then using an eraser over the top of the graphite, a fine film is produced on the paper. Layering of this film and graphite gives the drawing a more photographic effect.

OK creative people! Here are four free Hi-Res stone textures to download. They were taken on a recent trip to Hobart, Tasmania. You can download them by clicking on them individually or download all four files in one. Enjoy!
